Raspberry Pi Geek 14

Welcome to Raspberry Pi Geek. We have another issue of projects and information about small-board computers and their software, as well as microprocessors, sensors, and programming. First, discover the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s new display, a 7-inch touchscreen that can carry the Rasp Pi on its back. Also new is the version of Scratch that comes with the recent Raspbian Jessie distribution. Our author shows how it integrates GPIO pin control through the new GPIO server.

The RaspberrySTEM Kit combines a Raspberry Pi 2 with a custom case and a development environment for teaching electronics and programming. We take one of these kits for a spin to see how easy it is to get started.
